That's not my opinion (I'll give my opinion at the end of this post). Conveniently, both. It has been shown by people who test sets that SS is a top performing set. You can also compare AoEs in other sets to see that Foot Stomp is better on average than PBAoEs from sets that have multiple AoE damage powers. Rage is on helluva drug. Even post nerf it does +70% damage to all, which leads attacks to do slightly more damage on average than other sets, however, the real strength of SS is the fact that Rage can self stack, giving you +140% damage to all. Perma Double Stacked Rage is a thing on most SS builds, giving you 140% damage boost 5/6th of the time and then a damage penalty the other 1/6th. BUT, and this is key, Procs are not affected by this damage debuff, meaning an SS built with heavy proc investment can still output reasonable damage numbers even during the rage crash. So, put this together, you've got ~65-70% more damage than other sets that build for procs (the highest way to deal damage for tanks) PLUS you get a 40% to-hit bonus, meaning you don't even have to worry about slotting accuracy, therefore you can slot another proc for more damage. My opinion of SS is actually in the minority. I hate the set because I can't stand the Rage mechanic. I know it would be a nerf, but I'd like the set more if the base damage from all attacks was boosted and Rage was replaced with traditional build up.

For me, there’s a certain “ease of use”. On my toons without mez protection, soft capped defense means I’m less likely to be held/stunned. i always put together a build before I start running a character. I’ve got a Fire/Dev blaster in the works that is mostly ignoring defense and instead building as much +damage as possible.

I lol’d Super Strength is already a top tier set for Tanks/Brutes. It doesn’t need any help. Also, right now, Foot Stomp is better than your average melee AoE power specifically *because* it’s the only AoE in the set.

I guess that’s what I meant, they don’t get the benefit of bodyguard mode.

Scrappers do more damage, therefore you use fewer attacks to defeat an enemy, therefore you use less endurance overall.

you’re arguing just to argue. Of course changes should be in the patch notes, but I also acknowledged several posts ago that mistakes happen and sometimes they get missed. I already answered that, you just don’t like that I didn’t specifically say “changes should be in the patch notes” you’re being antagonistic and so is Troo. This thread should have ended when a dev said “I’ll look into it” but instead that wasn’t good enough.

I get your joke, but she’s according to lore, she’s one of the most powerful mutants. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jubilee_(character) Specifically

This is an online multiplayer game that is under active development. Changes are always being made.

Or if you’re using CityModInstaller it’s just click “update”

Only if anything that crosses it gets lost forever.

@Forager is not an innocent question of “should changes be documented?”

Simple request, no idea how simple it is to implement. can we get an option to “lock” the UI? This would prevent you from resizing or moving the elements as long as it was locked. You should still be able to open/close things like the map, contact list, etc. I’ve accidentally dragged windows more times than I’d like to admit and this would prevent that.

I’ve had a few builds where I’ve done everything “right” and still had endurance issues pre-alpha slot. Shield/Axe and Shield/Rad come to mind. Now, this was pre Harmonic Mind, so I don’t know how the sets would have fared if I could have taken that. i wouldn’t mind another power pool that has an endurance management power in it, even if it’s locked to T4 in the pool so you have to have 2 other powers from the pool before you can take it. Having to rely on Recovery Serum is not a fun choice to me.

The reason is “a mistake was made” they didn’t intentionally try to hide this change.

What are you waiting for? It’s already updated

A dev explained this already. sometimes when you make 1000 changes to something, you forget to notate the 1001st change. Devs are human, humans make mistakes, get over yourself. also, there has been 1 change that has been listed in this thread that wasn’t listed in the patch notes, but several people are acting like the entire game got changed without telling anyone.

Defensive? Yes. Bodyguard mode? No

“Now with real fire attacks!”

I feel like Shield would be a good contender. Its mez protection is also a clicky, but it has things that SR doesn’t which I think would help. Namely resistance that is always there. SR has to take some serious damage before its resistances kick in, but shield has a good amount of resistance to everything but psi (and maybe toxic?). With a shield build you could also focus on building extra resistance and not worry about building for defense with Fortitude capping you off. Alternately, if you went Ageless Radial instead of Core, you could lean on that for DDR and do something like Electric Armor. With Electric Armor you can get hard capped resistance to all but toxic and build yourself just enough positional defense that Fortitude will put you at the soft cap. Ageless Radial then provides the DDR to make sure that defense isn’t all for naught.

What does that have to do with the weather?

Does she inevitably say “I need you for something” within 5 minutes of logging in?

They had increased radii at some point on open beta and was specifically changed because people said “this formula nets us less damage per target and doesn’t do a whole lot it increase targets hit” and brought the numbers to prove it.

This is the same accuracy as most standard attacks, so against even cons with no defense buffs or debuffs in play, 75% chance.

I can’t fathom spending that kind of inf… I don’t even have anywhere near that amount across all 260 characters combined. hell, I really want a mini-mode for a new alt idea I have, currently sitting on ~50 aethers and wondering how I’m going to get the next 200… I know! I’ll take a page out of @Snarky’s book. if you have any spare inf or Aethers, please feel free to email them to my global, @Psyonico

I’m having flashbacks to high school calculus with that gif. I can verify it is not mag 100 because I remember looking at it in game, I don’t remember what it actually is though and CoD shows it as mag -1.0 knockback for scrappers. However, what I can’t verify is that it used to be mag 100
